Work...

2006-10-22T16:01:00.000-07:00

Work, work, and more work. God, I'm so busy this weekend. <_<

I spent all of yesterday out with my family, and then I spent this morning studying with my friends, and now I have a lot of hw to take care of, and my mom wants me to go grocery shopping with her. Geez...

And more of my high school drama~

One, I have a friend who's really starting to grate on my nerves. She's so...clingy! In class, when I was trying to chat with some of my other friends, she kept following me, and trying to drag me away. And she's always like "You know, when there's a project, you're my partner, kay?", and she never lets me hang out with other people in peace. God, she's not my only friend in the world, so why is she so clingy? The thing is, I don't want to hurt her feelings, and she's good friends with all my good friends. Which means that if I upset her, all my friends will know, and think I'm being mean. <_<

Two, boy troubles. Not mine though. My best friend has had this crush on this junior guy since...last year. Actually, I used to have a crush on him too, but I got over it. We're just friends. =P But anyways, this week, we discovered that he's going out with this other girl in our grade. And my best friend is really on the edge. His girlfriend is in her Choir class, so she's nervous in that class. And she's been pretty down lately. I feel really bad for her, but I don't really know what I can do, other than just being there and offering quiet encouragement. I think she'll be able to get over it though. =]

By the way, I'm using my new avy. Made it on Friday. ^_^

Better...

2006-10-10T18:55:00.000-07:00

So yeah, rambling time...

Today was...better. I got a LOT of Chem homework...Grr, I wish I wasn't in the honors class...T_T And then in Japanese we had a really big test. But I think I did okay, so no worries there. ^_^ Still, we got a lot of Algebra 2 homework... ;_; I think I'm doomed...and English......

Okay, so here's the update on the situation between me and my friend. We're in English together, and today, we were doing an in-class project. And we split into assigned groups, and we ended up in the same group, along with some of his friends. Situation = Potential Disaster. He ignored me the whole time, and his friends were sniggering and drawing hearts with our names in it and stuff. But after a few glares from me, he stopped. ^_____^ And eventually, my friend and I started talking to each other. We're not as close as before, but at least I feel like we're still friends, which is good. =]

Pictures! Avys that I made awhile ago:

POed >_<

2006-09-28T15:34:00.000-07:00

Yeah, I'm not in a good mood today. I started noticing that one of my guy friends (a really close guy friend, actually) has been avoiding me since yesterday. At first I thought it was just because we weren't running into each other very often. But when we were walking down the halls, and we were face to face, I said 'Hi', he ignored me! God, I was really pissed at first. I haven't done anything to make him mad at me. So I tried to pretend he just didn't see me. But when we ran into each other a second time and made EYE contact, and I waved, and he still ignored me! Okay, at this point, I was VERY pissed, but I thought maybe he was just having a bad day or something. Fine. No biggie. Everyone has them.

Yeah, and then, one of my friends come up to me and go: "Did you and *insert guy's name* have an argument?" And I was like, "Uh, not that I remember. But he seems mad at me." And she was like, "Aww, you know misunderstandings always happen between couples. It's okay. Relationship problems are normal." And I was just like, "WTF?!"

And I went around and asked a few other friends (not my super close friends), and they were all like, "Weren't you and *insert guy's name* going out? You guys always hang out together. You two are so cute!" Me: -____-;;

And I was just really mad, because everyone just assumed that we were going out, even though we aren't. I was in a bad mood all through the day. And since me and him have sixth period together, I tried to talk to him about it, but he ignored me! And then his friends were all shooting me the 'knowing' look. Grr...so pissed...

So now I'm rambling about it in my lovely little blog. I'm not going to put this on my RL blog, since I don't want to offend anyone (and if they read this, they'd know who they are) but yeah, I'm pissed. So pissed I don't even want to post up a picture. >_____<

Shopping

2006-09-27T20:24:00.000-07:00

I really don't consider myself a mall rat, but today, when my friends invited me to go shopping at the largest mall in our area, I just couldn't resist. XD

So, we hit a lot of stores (Aeropostale, Abercrombie&Fitch, Gap, etc.), and honestly, there were pratically no one there. The only people around were old housewives. =/ But it was still a lot of fun. I'm still super giddy about that adorable cami I bought. The lace~pretty~ *o*

This morning, I got up early to make onigiri. I ended up filling my whole bento box with onigiri. >_<>_<

Pretty picture:

Isn't it cute? I love emoticons~ <333

Schoolwork

2006-09-23T19:59:00.000-07:00

Yes...the dreaded 'schoolwork'..............

Grr, it's so annoying to be piled with schoolwork. I've been so busy...my math hw alone takes around two hours...Chemistry honors is about 1 hour on a tough day, half an hour on an easy day. History is usually 15 minutes; not that bad. I don't really have English hw, but we have weekly assignments. Japanese is my easiest class; less than 5 minutes of hw each day. XD And of course, Art and PE don't give hw. So pretty much I spend around 3 hours or more on hw each day. I know I'm complaining a lot, since most people in other countries my age have tons more hw, but still...T_T

And my birthday was this Tuesday. Yay~ My friends piled me with presents. But my best friend gave me something weird...it was an eraser shaped like a *cough*p***s*cough*. Yeah...It was really embarrassing, and she laughed really hard at my reaction. Cuz I was just like: O___O Grr, so mean... <_<>

And I was really surprised to find out that SnS released the whole volume of Help!! on my birthday. Thanks everyone, and happy birthday to the whole staff and Jlenoc! <3

Meanwhile, I won the graphics contest on Vampire Knight. Shockers. O.o It was pretty close, but I won. *cheers* Right now, I'm working on a texture to submit to the next contest. ^_^

Oh, and here's a pretty picture:

It's kinda hard to see it, since it's been downsized, but it's a texture I made in 3 minutes. Yes, a whole 3 minutes. And a half, if you count saving the image in .psd and .jpg format. =P And that's it folks. I'm turning in for tonight. XD

Pep Rally

2006-09-06T21:12:00.000-07:00

Yeah, we had a pep rally today. As long as we can get out of class, it's all good. XD

So, I was sitting with two of my guy friends, and this is what happened:

Guy A: Hey *insert my name*! Did you get shorter?
Me: Grr...
/me whacks him on the head
Guy B: Aw, you two are such a cute couple!
Me: Aw, thank you. Not.
/me whacks him on the head
A: God, she's so violent.
B: I know!
/me whacks them both
Me: Shut up, the rally's starting.
A: Come on, rallys are lame.
B: I think they're fun.
A: That's because you're a sissy.
B: *glares*
Me: Shut up!
A: How does it feel to be a girl in a guy's body?
B: Grr...
Me: *Insert A's name*, that's mean.
A: Hmph.
B: Hmph.
/me whacks them AGAIN

Yeah, story of my life. <_<

Oh, and here's one of the avys I did for Kuri's comission:

Labor Day Weekend

2006-09-03T10:40:00.000-07:00

Yay, it's Labor Day Weekend. *celebrates*

Of course, I spent all of friday finishing up the editing for Help!! chapter 1. I just felt bad, cuz Fangli already edited all of chapter 2. She's so good. <_<

And yesterday, my friends kept calling me about Japanese homework. We were supposed to do a particle analysis paper. I didn't think it was that hard, but they kept asking me. I ended up asking Airi about it. XD

When I didn't know what they were talking about, I emailed my friend in Japanese 3 Honors. She's soooooo good at Japanese, though I don't quite get her obsession with Visual Kei. O.o

And looking at Kuri's bentos made me feel bad. *cries* I should post a picture of my pathetic bentos sometimes. XD

Today is pretty boring. I think I might go over to Sara's house later on...

And here's a pretty picture; I know you missed them:

Whee~The picture is hand-drawn by yours truly. I know, it sucks. Deal with it. =P

School

2006-08-23T20:50:00.000-07:00

Serious ranting time~ XD

The first day:
-I got to school really late...10 minutes before homeroom...the locker fight was pretty much over. At my school, we have to claim our own lockers; they aren't assigned. Even though I was late, my friends reserved a locker for me. I looove them. <3
-Homeroom was boring...same old lecture about not cheating and studying hard...blah blah...
-Pictures: The line was so loong! And everyone kept cutting. I was chatting with a friend, so we didn't notice at first that everyone was cutting in front, but then we realized that we weren't moving, so we pushed our way to the front. >:)
-Classes/Teachers: My chem teacher sounds really easy. As opposed to the other chem teacher, who's a Ph.D and a montone-old-man. Lucky~ Art is pretty easy, but it's filled with buff, punkish looking guys. O.o Japanese is the same...but there's so many freshmen there! I feel stupid. :( PE was just intro and stuff, but I'll be doing a lot of running. T_T Algebra 2 Honors...my teacher is the most difficult math teacher on campus...juniors tell horror stories about her math classes...she gave us so much hw on the first day! Freaky lady... For history we have a spanking-new-fresh-out-of-college dude, so it's cool. He's such a n00b. XD And Lit is a nice but sorta boring teacher.

Second day:
-Classes: Really boring. We pratically did nothing.
-Homework: OMG! That crazy math teacher of mine assigned us so much homework...it took me HOURS to finish it. ToT

Third day:
-Classes: Really fun and easy!
-Homework: NONE!!! *celebrates*

Other stuff:
-My BFF, Andrea, came back from Korea with a loss of 2 pounds, one inch taller, and a new haircut. She's soooo pretty. I feel so ugly next to her. O_O
-I've made arrangements to study SATs with Sammy and Catie. They think far ahead...
-Oops, I was supposed to call Tiff earlier...I forgot. Uh-oh...
-Grr, I missed so much manga during the days I was gone from the computer...

No pretty image today...I'll upload one later. =P

Clean up

2006-08-08T17:12:00.000-07:00

It's the dreaded clean up day at my house. Dust is flying in the air, spiders are falling from the ceiling, and my back is aching from scrubbing the floors. Tomorrow is my sister's b-day, which means a big clean up for a big party. And she's sitting on the computer playing Neopets while I'm working away...I think I'm starting to see red...must breath...breath...breath...

Ooh, and I thought I should share this:

It looks really blurry and sucky, but yeah. I made it in 5 minutes on photoshop. Took me 3 minutes to extract the image, 1 and 1/2 minutes to make the background, and 1/2 a minute to save it. =P

Fruits Basket

2006-08-07T21:47:00.000-07:00

Can I say I need to rant?! I just read Furuba chapter 131 today. It was sooooo cute. <333>

It was really really cool how the legend behind the Juunishi was explained, and the Yuki x Machi scene was really cute. I could really go on and ramble, but then I have the feeling I'd embarrass myself. =P

Here's the LQ version I found online: http://www.sendspace.com/file/ssw3u3

Ooh, and here's a pretty picture for you:

It's the picture I used to make religioninabox's avy on SnS. It's kinda blurry on here, for some reason, but it's very cute. I looove Kine's artwork. =)

Shopping

2006-08-05T17:32:00.000-07:00

I went shopping today. I wonder if I'm turning into a mall rat. I spent 5 hours shopping...I don't think it's too much, since I've been in a mall longer, but still. I hope I don't turn into a shop-a-holic. =_=

Today...was pretty uneventful. I'm trying to load this file that's taking FOREVER. It's downloading at 3KB/per second. I think I might not be able to read it till tonight. Oh, and a picture:

Yomiko Readman from Read or Die. I'm a big fan of her. Bookworms unite~ XD

Cold

2006-08-01T14:11:00.000-07:00

Currently: Listening to E.L.T.'s Graceful World and feeling bored

For some reason, the weather suddenly became very cold recently. I've been wearing sweatshirts and sweatpants at home. O.o

Other than that, not much has happened. I've suddenly been doing a bunch of avatar requests on SnS though. It's so weird, cuz I'm not that good at making avys...but I guess people are sort of happy with what I make, so it's all good...

Pretty image of the post:

Sachi from Arakure. I reallllly wanna do this manga. Fujiwara Kiyo's stuff is usually soo cute and nice. And Jewangel was nice enough to try to order the volumes for us. I'm not sure if she was successful or not, but it was a nice thought. I just loove this image. It's so pretty. <3

BBQ

2006-07-29T23:01:00.000-07:00

So, I went to the pool at a friend's house with my pal Pam. It was fun to swim. We took turns diving and splashing and doing flips in the water. Pam dragged me underwater, even though I didn't want to swim at first. I was just a bit sad that my best friend was out for the week to visit her uncle.

After goofing around in the pool, we had a barbeque. Al's mom is really good at grilling! The meat was tasty, the corn on the cob was delicious, and then we had some ice cream to wash it all down. I was really full...ate too much, I guess.

I drank too much coke too, probably, since my stomach was complaining after awhile. Then apparently Dave and Julie had another fight or something. By the time Pam and I got there, they were throwing water and ice cubes at each other. I wonder if Dave's still mad about the whole "you don't have balls" thing. O_o

Pam and I stayed neutral in the conflict...or at least attempted to stay neutral. Everyone else took sides in the "battle", and it sorta turned into a water/ice fight. Which was really fun and all, but messy. We had to pick up all the ice cubes afterwards as punishment, even me and Pam, who were "innocent bystanders". <_<

And then we finally got kicked out of the house by the parents, who "politely" told us that it was almost curfew. And then we had to call for rides, and I ended up waiting for half an hour for my mom to come pick me and Pam up. It was really cold outside too...

And that's a rough version of my afternoon/evening. Here's a pretty picture:

This is an original art by Shiho Kashiwagi. She's another one of those mangakas with cute artwork and a ditzy heroine/cliche shoujo plot. Still, this picture was nice.

Now it's time for me to go beddy bye. It's past 11. O_o

What the heck...?!

2006-07-29T15:01:00.000-07:00

Somehow, people found out I have a blog. Isn't that weird? I think I had a blog last year...and then I completely forgot about it. Don't even have the name or the password to that one anymore. =P

I'm going to the pool with friends later today. I think it's sorta cold for an expedition to the pool, but what the heck. My best friend has really bad luck with pools. When we were having a swimming test, she slipped and fell, and scraped her knee on the concrete. It looked really scary and bled a lot. She was in bandages till the end of school. >_<

Speaking of school, my schedule for next year arrived. I suddenly realized that I only have 3 weeks left, and I haven't done any PSAT preparation at all. Gee I'm an idiot....

Nothing much happened so far today. The only thing new here is a chatbox. Wonder if anyone will post in it... -__-"

Pretty image of the post:

As most of you can probably figure, this is Chii from Chobits. I just adore CLAMP's artwork. *happy sigh* And today I downloaded the "For your eyes only" artbook. It's sooo purty. Maybe I should make some new avys sometimes. XD

And that's it for this post. Bet everyone's glad this rant is over. =PPP

Addiction

2006-07-28T21:40:00.000-07:00

I wonder why people get addicted to things. I feel very addicted to the computer. I can't leave it unless I have to, and when I'm on, I'm not really doing anything. Today was particularly uneventful. When life is like this, I feel so dull. Still, nothing happening is preferable to lots of things happening, I guess. Still...addictions are scary. I spent hours on the computer doing nothing special. Guess I'm just a dull person that way. Oh, before I forget, the pretty image of the post:

Help!! is an interesting manga. It's only one volume, but the relationship between Shin and her sensei is very interesting. The stories are funny too. And the Japanese slang in it is very adorable. The art is nice as well. To be expected of one of my favorite mangaka, Fujiwara Kiyo. Can't wait for it's release, though I suppose I should get working...

And that's it. Oyasumi~

Liscensing

2006-07-28T11:07:00.000-07:00

Liscensing is good, isn't it? Well, actually, it isn't. I was soooo sad when I found out some of my favorite projects had vanished, but oh well. Today, I was very happy because one of my least favorite projects was liscensed, and I don't think I'll ever have to see it again. *Sigh* I think I'm getting giddy just thinking about it. Though I do feel sorry for the people who think this series will earn them any money.

Honestly, I hate this series. I guess the artwork looks cute enough though. Not to mention I actually found a quiz on this series. O.o

http://quizilla.com/users/girlsaloud/quizzes/Which%20GOKKUN!%20PUCHO%20character%20would%20u%20be%3F%20(both%20guys%20and%20gals)/

Yeah... -__-"

Cool

2006-07-26T20:48:00.000-07:00

Cool air!!! What a blessing it is. The temperature actually cooled down today, though I'm not sure what to make of it. Hopefully, the temperature doesn't rise again. Oh, I suppose I might as well put up something. Here:

Wasn't that so pretty? It's the chapter one cover of Genyou no Meizu, a manga by Toui Hasumi. The artwork is just gorgeous, by the way. If you want to see more of it, look for it at http://in2k2.digital-takeout.net/k2less/ . It's the tale of demon hunter Kasuga, and her cat familiar Seiga. It's currently pending, but I assure you that releases will appear soon. Look forward to it, minna-san. ;)

That's my lecture of the day. Oyasumi nasai~

Heat Wave

2006-07-25T21:01:00.000-07:00

I'm sure that most people around the world who live in the northern hemisphere have noticed that this summer is a particulary hot and unbearable one. So we've all been staying at home or inside a well air conditioned building. It's really sad and sucky...

Oh, and now I should mention something about how this is my first post and everything, and how I should introduce myself. Where to start...I'm Sylphie, enough said. =P

See ya around, you loser who is currently reading this random post.

~*Sylphie*~
